Who is up for some Labor Day weekend fun? Since I don't know how my income is going to look, and hubby has to work on Labor Day, we are just going to be taking it easy. No beach house rentals florida for us this year. But don't feel too bad for us - we had two really great vacations this year - one to Ohio to visit the family, and the other to Florida to Kennedy Space Center and St. Augustine. I was pretty proud of myself for planning the Florida trip. I got 2 hotels on the beach that were dog friendly so we even got to take our little mascot, Biscuit.

On the trip from St. Augustine to Coco Beach we even found an old fashioned drive in restaurant to stop at so we didn't have to worry about doggy.

“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”

Here are the first four lavender sachets I have whipped up in between resume updating and itching. (I think I have been having an allergic reaction to one of my medications and its been a real interesting couple of weeks.)

The machine embroidery design is by Digitized Creations, available on Etsy.com.

I love the French Country look. I could totally picture these in a country style house along with some log cabin furniture.

The other day they were giving out pork chop samples by the meat counter at Publix and Ben loved them. So he demanded that I get some. At Publix they guy pan fried them in some garlic infused oil with onions, peppers and mushrooms. He said he used parmasean cheese to coat them with salt and pepper.

I made them with parmasean cheese, adobo seasoning, panko bread crumbs and salt and pepper. I used vegetable oil with some chopped up garlic. It smells really garlicky! They are cooking up in the electic skillet for some old school style.

Lima beans, broccoli, and rice going on the side. We need a hearty dinner because tomorrow is the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Earlier today I tool the boys to Kohls to pick out new outfits for school. Fun! We have everything we need, I think. I already dropped off the suppies at their classrooms and we met their teachers. I got sneakers, underwear, socks, shorts, pants, and t-shirts.

We went to Outback for dinner tonight. Woo hoo. Anyway, Ben and I got started coloring in their kids menu picture and Adam got involved too. We did a lot with the red, green, and blue crayons that it came with thn we finished it at home with lots MORE COLORS. Silly, but fun. Almost as much fun as a tim kennedy shirt.

These owls are so much fun I made one for myself. It has a couple mess ups but hey, that's what makes it hand made. This isn't the greatest picture - sorry! Bad lighting. Now... I wonder if I could make an RFID shielded wallet with my sewing machine?
